Abstract
The development of technology makes the lives of adolescents integrated with social and digital media. The existence of general elections always fosters new hope. Around 20 million people who are beginner voters have the opportunity to determine the new leader for Indonesia. The enthusiasm of the novice voters is greatly felt because they will use their political rights for the first time in their lives. This research is a qualitative study using a reception analysis approach conducted by in-depth interviews. The results of this study indicate three responses, namely cognitive, affective, and actional responses. The objective of this study leads to the research question, how the adolescent’s behaviors were during The Presidential Election in April 2019 after interpreting political messages in the social media. Cognitive responses revealed their knowledge in understanding the news, affective responses showed that the teenagers did a crosscheck of the news before they behave and actional responses took a stance in determining their choices, based on their own decisions, after they saw the news in the mass media, not only social media.
